Twenty-Two Stops Privately, from Largo do Toural to the Porta Nova
A private day that goes back to where the country came from. North of Porto to Guimarães, the birthplace of the nation, and to Braga, founded by the Romans more than two thousand years ago.
What separates this one is how much of each city it covers. In Guimarães the route takes the castle, the Paço dos Duques, the church where the first king was baptised, Largo da Oliveira, Praça de S. Tiago and Largo do Toural.
In Braga it keeps going: the Santos Passos church, the town hall, the Congregados basilica, the Torre de Menagem, the Cathedral, the Arco da Porta Nova, Largo do Paço, Praça da República and Bom Jesus.
Twenty-two stops in one day, at whatever pace a private group sets.
